NEWS: World: Toyota Is Reviving the Celica and It Surely Won’t Be Boring: 2.0 Liter Engine Considered Toyota is working on developing the right powertrain for the revival of the Celica sports coupe, expected to see the light of day sometime next year Published: 28 Mar 2026, 13:11 UTC • By: Elena Luchian Toyota pulled the plug on the Celica after the 2005 model year and put an end to production in April 2006 after the car had been on the market for seven generations. The story started back in 1970, when the automaker launched the affordable and sporty two-door coupe. Throughout its 30-year-plus run, the Celica made the rules in the sporty subcompact segment. In America, it basically brought muscle car vibes in the form of a car that was smaller and more fuel-efficient than the gas-guzzling Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Challenger. Toyota confirmed the Celica would be making a comeback at the 2024 Rally Japan, when the then-vice president of the automaker, Yuki Nakajima, revealed: “We’re making the Celica!” Toyota boasts battery with 745-mile range and 10-minute charging time — here’s how it may impact all EVs –Leo Collis yahoo autos Mon, January 26, 2026 at 6:00 AM CST Toyota is gaining ...

Full integration into your Apple Podcast app. Projects Eric: What should I do? Taco 4runner LC Daryl: I put a deposit on a motor for the Fury. I also keep buying parts for small projects in the hopes that I keep myself busy this year doing stuff instead of sitting on my ass. Things like heat control valve rebuilds, exhaust system for the Volvo. Brother got his injectors cleaned & fixed for his ‘85 Cavalier. Wayyy cheaper than new injectors. NEWS: World: BMW’s Screw That No One Else Can Turn While Mercedes aims to make cars easier to repair, BMW has patented roundel-shaped screw heads that push owners to dealer-only servicing and repairs. Daniel Donabedian @autoblog BMW has never been shy about doing things its own way. Sometimes that results in clever solutions, like gaining access to Tesla’s Supercharger network. Other times, it produces ideas that sound brilliant on paper but prove far less friendly in the real world, like the glorious but famously temperamental S85 V10. BMW’s latest screw patent leans firmly toward the latter. While the new screw head design is undeniably clever and unmistakably BMW, it appears purpose-built to keep ordinary owners well away from working on their own cars. What makes this more frustrating is that the competition is moving in another direction. Mercedes-Benz, for example, has recently spoken about redesigning future vehicles to be easier to repair, not harder. US Congress introduces ‘SAFE Exit Act’ targeting Tesla door handles after claiming 15 deaths Elektek A new bill has been introduced in the US House of Representatives today that specifically targets the design of electric vehicle door handles, with the sponsor explicitly calling out Tesla and Elon Musk. The bill, dubbed the “Securing Accessible Functional Emergency (SAFE) Exit Act,” aims to force automakers to install easy-to-find manual releases in case of power failure. We have seen a trend in the auto industry, mostly led by Tesla, to move toward electronic door latches. Instead of a mechanical linkage that physically unlatches the door when you pull a handle, a button or sensor sends a signal to an actuator that pops the door open. While this allows for frameless windows and smoother aerodynamics, it creates a safety concern: if the vehicle loses power, like in a severe crash, the doors can stay locked unless there is a mechanical override. Sony Honda Mobility’s Highlight at CES® 2026 On January 5th (local time), ahead of the show’s public opening, Sony Honda Mobility held its first standalone press conference at CES® Media Day. The company shared updates on AFEELA 1, which is scheduled to begin customer deliveries later this year, and introduced a new prototype, AFEELA Prototype 2026, making its public world debut. At this conference, in addition to presentations by three of our company’s executives, three guest speakers from our partner companies and other organizations took the stage to discuss how the future of mobility will expand through collaboration with AFEELA, as well as their expectations for our brand. Beginning January 6th, the SHM booth opened to the public, offering an immersive look into AFEELA’s core principles: Autonomy (evolving autonomy), Augmentation (expansion of the body and space-time), and Affinity (collaboration with people and symbiosis with society). The exhibit features the AFEELA 1 pre-production model in all three exterior colors (Tidal Gray, Calm White, Core Black), alongside the newly revealed AFEELA Prototype 2026. Together with exhibitions by Sony Group companies, partner collaborations, and sustained-focused displays, the booth illustrates how AFEELA is evolving beyond a vehicle into a connected mobility platform and Sony Honda Mobility’s vision for the future mobility.

    TW 107 – A Very Wrenches Christmas 2025
    Dec 20 2025
    https://traffic.libsyn.com/thebeerreport/TW_107_christmas_2025.mp3 A Very Wrenches Christmas On this episode of Throwin’ Wrenches… Its Christmas… You know we have something up our red velvet jacket and puffy white sleeves… Cars? Christmas? Its like peanut butter and chocolate! What will be our top 3 christmas movie cars in our annual festive lists? Thanks for listening. Thanks for being a fan. Spotify Wrapped… For podcasters Spotify Comments: Projects Eric: Toilet! Went to Italy. Drove a Renault Clio with more buzzers and alarms than any car I have ever driven in my life! Ubigi for Cellular… Love that. No texts or calls… but I had data Daryl: Highlander got fixed after my parking lot ding. Body shop didn’t clean the dust and there were footprints on the seat. Zero pride? Moment of Musk: Elon’s head was exploding Favorite Christmas Movie Cars Eric: Taxi Cab from Scrooged… The taxi cab in the movie Scrooged belongs to the fictional Belle Cab Co.. The vehicle itself is an iconic 1978 Checker A11 Taxicab (though some sources mention a 1970 or 1974 model year, the A-series ran largely unchanged from 1959-1982). This car zooms all over the skyline and slides through time in a decently fun twist on the ghost of Christmas Past. RIP Buster Poindexter aka David Johanssen of the New York Dolls. A role of a lifetime to be sure. I rode in one of these back in the early 80’s… Took the plane from O’Hare to LaGuardia and had a taxi driver who I am pretty sure was Bob Hoskins. My brother and I talked big stuff and declared that we would be running this town before our easter week was over. Sat behind Dan Rather at Sunday Mass BTW… I love these cars because of the jump seats. They are so damn big, but at first glance, you think nothing of them. Get in, and you will be shocked at the space. 2 Chrysler Town and Country K CAr from Planes, Trains and Automobiles. The car driven by Neal Page (Steve Martin) and Del Griffith (John Candy) in the movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles is a 1986 Chrysler LeBaron Town & Country convertible, not a Dodge Aries K. While the LeBaron is built on the same Chrysler K-car platform as the Dodge Aries and Plymouth Reliant, the specific model in the film is a LeBaron. This car is dead on what people were driving when I was a kid. My great uncle worked for Chrysler from the 60’s tothe 90’s… His Mom, my Grandma Giancarli, drove a 1985 Airies K Car after she drove my 1978 Volare. I got the Volare, my brother got the Aries. HE took it all the way to LA to go to MIT… Eventually driving it back from LA to Fort Meyers. That car was pretty decent. I recall the back suspension collapsing from him hauling drums all the time. 3 Debate this It was going to be the Camaro from Better Off Dead, but Angela did not agree that its a Christmas movie… she obviously had not listened to our older Christmas shows! OK… How about this… George Bailey’s car from It’s a Wonderful Life? “The main car in It’s a Wonderful Life is George Bailey’s 1919 Dodge Brothers touring car, a black, open-top vehicle used for everything from family moves (with a goat!) to the iconic scene where he crashes it into a tree before contemplating suicide. The same car, with a specific studio tag (789), also featured as Ernie the taxi driver’s vehicle and remains a famous movie prop, now owned by collectors and occasionally shown at events. “ Classic, iconic, and I would totally pull this out for a chug around the block during parade season. The images I see online are morose and depressing from the black and white view… but this car is what scoots the story around Bedford Falls The main car in It’s a Wonderful Life is George Bailey’s 1919 Dodge Brothers touring car, a black, open-top vehicle used for everything from family moves (with a goat!) to the iconic scene where he crashes it into a tree before contemplating suicide. The same car, with a specific studio tag (789), also featured as Ernie the taxi driver’s vehicle and remains a famous movie prop, now owned by collectors and occasionally shown at events. Daryl: Scott Calvin’s Ford Taurus SHO – The Santa Clause (1994) The first-generation Ford Taurus SHO was the real deal. Manual trans. Yamaha-built V6 with a crazy intake design and beautiful exhaust note. Tim Allen being a car guy helped make sure Santa had a cool ride in addition to his sleigh. I saw this film in High School gym class one day before Christmas Break because Mr. Petty was phoning it in. This car is the only thing I remember from that movie. Billy Peltzer’s 1967 VW Beetle – Gremlins (1984) In the beginning of the film Gremlins, our hero Billy Peltzer is portrayed as a mild-mannered young bank teller who drives a responsible car, a classic 60’s VW Beetle. Only it doesn’t want to start on the cold, snowy morning in Kingston Falls. This leads to a ...
